Future Combat Systems
FCS is a networked system of systems that
will serve as the core building block within all
maneuver Unit of Action echelons to develop
overmatching combat power, sustainability,
agility, and versatility necessary
for full spectrum military
operations.


We must challenge Defense Contractors and their engineers to design
systems that meet tough requirements.






Future systems must be built with ultra reliable components that
require minimal preventive maintenance, and when maintenance is
required repairs and services are easily and quickly performed.



Self reporting
No vehicles that get less than 30 mpg
No repairables
No spares
No Systems w/o embedded diagnostics/prognostics
No special tools
No external TMDE
MTBF > Duration of pulsed operations
We may have to pay up front for such “Ultra-reliable” systems, but our
future warfighting concepts depend on them. If systems don’t
perform as advertised, there should be penalties.
“Significant reduction in the logistics footprint and costs will occur when reliability,
maintainability, And fuel efficiency are effectively balanced with Cost, Schedule and
Performance”

Theme: “Reduced Logistics Footprint”
Deployability
SBCT CoC Transportability Findings:
• >5 hrs to remove/Install S280 Shelters
• >1 hr to remove/install ring mounts
• Added an additional 45 Light Cranes (MHE)
• 144 TWVs required MHE for C-130
• Long RSOI times
• TWVs C-130 deployable w/o loads
C-130 Roll-on/Roll-off w/load
Responsiveness
Current TWVs:
• Less than 10% have Comms Capability
• Average range is 300 miles w/o refueling
FTTS:
• Imbedded/Integrated C4ISR will provide 100%
Comms with the Warfighter in the UoA
• Fuel Efficiency will increase range 100-200%
allowing fluid distribution over greater
operational distances (600 – 900 miles) w/no
increase in tank capacity
Increased Range thru fuel efficiency and
dynamic movement tracking

FTTS CONCEPTS
DESCRIPTION:
The FTTS-MSV is a multi functional, multi
proponent single tactical truck family based
upon a common chassis design sharing
commonality with the UV.
MISSION:
Provides direct support to Unit of Action
Brigades in terms of transportation and
distribution of cargo, equipment, and
personnel.

DESCRIPTION:
The FTTS-UV is a multi-purpose tactical
truck family based upon a common chassis
design sharing commonality with MSV.
MISSION:
Provides light TWV support to the Unit of
Action (UA) and the Unit of Employment (UE)
in terms of C2, system support platform, and
unit mobility.
~ 150 FTTS-UV
Per UoA
~ 200 FTTS-MSV

Two fleets promote:
Reduction in Logistics Footprint
Commonality among fleets
Threshold Capabilities
Sustainability
• Reliability – MTBF > duration of Pulsed Operations
• Maintainability – Self-reporting, no special tools,
No TMDE, and No Spares
Agility
• Higher Mobility Rated Speed: 50% increase
• Must be able to go where
FCS goes and bypass built up
Areas to deliver support
Deployability
• C130 Roll on/Roll off w/load
• Ready to support off the ramp
Without vehicle preparation or
Transportability waivers
Lethality
Survivability
Versatility
• Advanced Load Handling
• Interchangeable/Intermodal Operation
• On Board Power & water Generation
• Deliver integrated, common, formed
Packaging
Responsiveness
• Reduced Emissions and
Signature
• Designed upfront to provide
time definite and assured
delivery
• Greater Fuel Efficiency 100 - 200%
• Dynamic Movement Tracking and Re-routing
• Greater Range 600 – 900 miles
• Integrated C4ISR

FTTS ACQUISITION STRATEGY
 Will be initiated with an Advanced Concept Technology Demo
 Prepare industry
 Refine requirements
 Program staged to follow in step with the FCS Program
 Enable the insertion of FCS technologies
 Concept & Technology Development effort predominately
Modeling & Simulation
 Focus on reduction of logistic footprint
 Validate application of Objective Force infrastructure
 System Development & Demonstration phase
 First stage of phase features modeling and simulation to evaluate
and refine contractor’s offerings
 Second phase involves production and testing of prototypes

Summary
 Legacy platforms can achieve only a subset of required Objective
Force capabilities
 FTTS maximizes opportunities for Objective Force capability by
leveraging 21st Century Truck research investment
 Unconstrained design potential
 Existing programs schedule staged in step with FCS Program
